Cracked Corn Moonshine Recipe
Cracked Corn Moonshine Recipe is a distilled spirit crafted from cracked corn, water, malted barley, and yeast resulting in a flavorful beverage.
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds Malted barley
- 6 gallons Filtered water
- 1 pack Yeast ( 11g)
- 8 pounds Ground cracked corn
Instructions
- Make a large pot of 165°F water by heating 6 gallons. Cracked corn should be added after the heat has been turned off.
- When corn reaches 150°F, add crushed barley and mix well.
- For converting starches into sugar, malted barley is essential. After the mash has cooled, let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes.
- When the mash has cooled, strain it using cheesecloth or wait until after fermentation to strain it.
- Aerate the mash 5-10 times between the fermentation bucket and pot before adding yeast. The mash must be at 70°F before adding yeast.
- Ensure that the lid and airlock are airtight, then add the yeast.
- Ten to fourteen days of fermentation at 70-75°F are recommended. Be sure there has been no activity in the airlock for two days before distilling.
